OnePlus 3, 3T Will Receive Android O Update, Confirms CEO Pete Lau
Both smartphones were launched last year
OnePlus 3T was recently discontinued
OnePlus 5 will be launched this Summer
OnePlus CEO Pete Lau on Wednesday announced that company's OnePlus 3 and 3T smartphones will both be updated to Android O. Considering that OnePlus X and OnePlus 2 users have been vocal about their displeasure about not receiving major updates since the launch of the smartphones, OnePlus appears committing to be treating OnePlus 3 and 3T users differently, promising the second major update since launch – following Android Nougat. No timeline was revealed.
Notably, OnePlus launched both OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T smartphones last year in June and November respectively. Last week, OnePlus surprisingly announced the discontinuation of its OnePlus 3T smartphone and said that this is the last chance to buy the smartphone before it goes out of stock. However, this announcement is likely to make potential buyers wait for the upcoming flagship OnePlus 5 smartphone, which will be launched this Summer.
Officially, the OnePlus 5 has been confirmed to sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, a front-facing fingerprint sensor, and a camera developed in partnership with DxO. OnePlus 5 leaked specifications indicates that the smartphone will come with a 23-megapixel rear sensor and a 16-megapixel camera at front for taking selfies. As the phone has a dual camera setup at the back, how does 23-megapixel sensor fits in the scheme of things is currently unclear.
Apart from the cameras, the new listing of the alleged OnePlus 5 suggests that the dual-SIM smartphone will run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out-of-the-box and will feature a 5.5-inch QHD (1440×2560 pixels) display. The successor to OnePlus 3T has been suggested to be powered by a 2.35GHz octa-core Snapdragon 835 SoC coupled with 8GB of RAM. The listing suggests that the OnePlus 5 will come with 64GB built-in storage, which will be expandable up to 128GB.
In terms of connectivity, the upcoming flagship from OnePlus has been suggested to offer 4G connectivity, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, and GPS. The listing suggests that the OnePlus 5 measures 152.7×74.7×7.0mm and weighs 156 grams

It takes a special person indeed to put up with chasing me around the city to pick up my laptop. They delivered it back to me in Cherrybrook at the end of the day, all fixed! Thank you so much boys.
According to research conducted by MYOB, small businesses that use cloud computing were 106% more likely to see a revenue rise in the past year.
This happy figure is from the March 2013 MYOB Business Monitor, which is takes its data from a survey of 1005 small and medium-sized businesses ranging from sole traders to 100 employees companies, across major industry sectors. Unfortunately, the same research showed that only 16% of the businesses surveyed said they use cloud computing in business. This is actually up from 14% in MYOB's July 2012 report by an unimpressive 2%.
Those of us who have made that giant leap of faith and trusted our priceless emails to something so intangible they even called it 'cloud' were 106% more likely to see a revenue rise in the past year than those who have not, up from 53% in July. That is remarkably good news, if you ask me, and one I will be happily sharing with all my small business clients still clinging on to their servers. Although, I do believe that the figures show more about the abilities and motivation of the owners than some sort of magic exerted by the cloud on their businesses.
More good news? Ok, business operators in the cloud were not only more likely to see a revenue rise in the past year, they were more likely to expect one in the next year (37% versus 28%). These lovely people (myself included) were also more positive about the domestic economy improving within 12 months (33% versus 23%).
MYOB chief executive, Mr Tim Reed, said he was surprised to find out just how few respondents said they used cloud computing in business.
"It's obvious that as time goes on Australian business operators using cloud computing are increasingly likely to achieve positive financial results," Reed said in a statement.
You said it Tim! And we are here to get them there.
Of the businesses surveyed that have not yet called Mobile Geeks to have their cloud computing set up, the most common reason apparently was, "I don't know enough about it to make the right business decisions about it" (35%). Yay! People, that is when you call and ask. Seriously, when it comes to the possibility of us providing you with service, we are most happy to talk about it in detail, send you information and hold your hand. Honestly And you are welcome to seek alternative advice and prices. That is just part of business. Get merchant cash advance and try your hand at setting up your own business.
Cloud computing is not the only area businesses are falling down in. The MYOB research once again showed the abysmal figures of SME website ownership in Australia – 38% ! And I am sure that if MYOB number-crunchers actually looked into the types and quality of websites that were counted, they would have discovered that the absolute majority of them were 'postcards'. Hardly, useful in 21 century….more of a waste of money than anything. This situation exists despite the fact that businesses with websites were 60% more likely to see a revenue rise in the past year, up from 53% in July.

This essay was originally written between December of 2010 and February of 2011. Soon after it was submitted to The Oil Drum, where it underwent a long process of review that greatly improved it; nevertheless it was archived without being ever published. Since its content could have had a negative impact on the scientific career of the folk mentioned, I decided to keep it at bay. One year on it seems now the time to bring it to light.
"Net Energy and Time" is the title of an article by Nate Hagens and Hannes Kunz that attempts to assess how the lifetime of an energy system impacts its EROEI (a digest of this article was published by TheOilDrum). The main objective was to include stochastic risk in EROEI analysis – random or otherwise unpredictable events that may affect the expected output of an energy system. Considering a series of risks of this kind, Nate and Hannes slashed future energy returns, in a way proportional to the system expected lifetime. In parallel, future energy inputs were too reduced as a function of lifetime. The results of this analysis where markedly favourable to Fossil Fuels and especially negative for those systems that require most of the capital investment upfront, as is the case of many Renewable Energies.
This is a review of the "Net Energy and Time" article, pointing the factors that lead to such conclusions.
It seems obvious, the longer an energy system has to survive to reach the energy break-even – the moment in time when total energy produced equals total energy spent on the system – the higher the risk of it failing to reach such threshold due to unpredictable or random events. If it fails to get to this milestone the system becomes a liability. But how can this reality be reflected in EROEI or net energy calculations?
To answer this question the "Net Energy and Time" article took a path that many times mangled the investor's perspective with Society's overall energy gain. The concepts of energy system and investment project are used interchangeably to produce particular inferences. Implicitly, monetary returns are mashed with energy returns leading to conclusions that, while valid financially, may not be so in a purely biophysical scope. Though presenting both perspectives in parallel, the separation is spurious, with some concerns passing from the investor to Society. The main objective of this post is to clearly set apart both perspectives, Investor versus Society, re-assessing stochastic risk from a strict biophysical stance.
Secondly, it proposes a more consistent process to calculate system lifetime impact on EROEI, as opposed to the subjective decline rates used by Nate and Hannes, for which no thorough mathematical reasoning was presented.
The article goes at good length explaining why returns that extend further into the future impact negatively the investor's perception of the investment's utility. Beyond net return, timing is a decisive factor, a consequence of Man's biology itself. There is good reason for that, this is the way the individual deals with events (s)he can't predict, which may prevent or alter an outcome envisioned today; an unconscious application of probability theory makes an earlier return look more attractive.
But Man is not a lonely animal, it is a sociable being by excellence. Nate and Hannes take a philosophical approach whereby Society is a bare sum of its individuals. Contrary to that, Generative Social Science has long shown that even Societies composed by the simplest of individuals can yield complex and unexpected behaviours. The latter is the stance this text adheres to, as opposed to Nate and Hannes' bare Society.
The point here is that, to Society, risks come in an entirely different manner, for a kWh is exactly the same amount of energy today or in 20 years time; the difference is that while individuals may perish in the meantime, Society prevails. Societies can perish too, but decisions taken at this level always assume such does not happen, otherwise any sort of Policy or investment decision would be irrelevant or even impossible. In this philosophical plane Policies are programmes to guarantee Society prevalence and progress.
Fortunately, mechanisms exist to offload investment risk from the individual to Society. The idea is basically to anticipate financial returns to the early years of project operation, while Society gets free or cheaper energy production during the later years of the project. Today this is accomplished with feed-in-tariffs: not only these schemes guarantee that investors get their returns independently of factors like weather variability, it also fixates financial returns and investment break-even in time. For technologies like Solar Photovoltaics (PV), some countries go further by using schemes whereby the feed-in tariff progressively diminishes with time, anticipating financial break-even to a reduced number of years. With this scheme, energy break-even remains unchanged in time, but financially the investment becomes considerably more attractive.
Feed-in tariffs or similar schemes are not referred in Nate and Hannes' article, but considering this offloading mechanism substantially changes the relevance of the risks analysed.
The "Net Energy And Time" analysis takes into consideration a series of potencial risks that are unpredictable when the investment project is elaborated. The risks enumerated seem all to be relevant to an individual investor, but for Society do they have the same importance? Following, each of these risks is analysed from the collective perspective.
The claim here is that matter deteriorates with time, while this sentence is discussable as stated, it reports to the reality that manufactured components and parts worn out during operation. Everyone that owns a watch, a bicycle or a car is well aware of such reality, regular visits to a mechanic are mandatory to keep the machine in perfect order. It is for this reason that maintenance costs are taken into account when an energy project is assessed, either financially or energetically speaking. A proper investment project has to consider these costs, which are also used to compute the EROEI figures found in the literature. It may be claimed that longer lived energy investments require more maintenance during their productive lifetime, but then again, it is the final EROEI that matters.
While indeed material degradation adversely impacts an energy system's EROEI it can be calculated à priori, thus it doesn't represent a stochastic risk of the kind Nate and Hannes' article attempts to asses.
This risk is described in a rather subjective fashion, but it is taken here as the risk an investor takes when investing on long-life technology such as Solar PV: returns may be so far ahead in time that (s)he may not live long enough to enjoy them. This is the paramount case where a feed-in tariff offloads risk from investor to Society. Survival is a clear example of a concern that applies solely to individual living things, as the investor; to the system it belongs to (e.g. Society) the survival of a particular individual is irrelevant. Thus this sort of risk shouldn't be included in whatever EROEI calculation.
It is impossible to justify this as a stochastic risk, for something like a wind turbine produces exactly the same energy either owned by an individual or by a state. No physical reasoning can lead to such sort of event impacting EROEI. This is perhaps the best example of the weak separation between individual and Society preconized by Nate and Hannes, a consequence of their philosophical approach to the subject.
Apparently, the inclusion of such risk is a sharp option. An investor buying today an array of solar PV panels with a lifetime over 30 years may eventually see returns slashed if in the meantime nuclear fusion reaches maturity, sending energy prices to zero (or thereabouts). First of all this is another risk easily dealt with a feed-in tariff scheme, but beyond that, a deeper reflection should be made on what "energy obsolescence" really means. An investor may loose financial returns if nuclear fusion comes about, but if energy costs go to zero, or are greatly reduced, then the investor has a gain in everything else (s)he does. Overall, biophysical wealth increases with energy abundance, cheap energy makes everything else cheaper, for it is embodied in the production of all goods and services. This aspect is a major defining characteristic of any energy investment, setting it apart from any other asset.
If for an individual energy obsolescence may be remotely considered a risk, for Society it is not a risk at all, by the contrary, it is a gain, a "counter-risk".
This is the risk that effectively matters. For instance, a wind turbine is subject to the unpredictable effects of a tornado that may tear it apart; a solar PV array may be damaged by an heavy blizzard and so on. The longer the lifetime of an energy system the higher the risk of destruction by natural hazards. Individual or collective investors can hedge against this sort of events by insuring their investment, incurring in a monetary surplus reduction, but guaranteeing a minimum return in case of damage or destruction. Nonetheless, the total energy provided by the system will always be slashed. These risks matter because they can't be eliminated through offloading schemes to Society, an earthquake that damages an energy system always reduces its energy surplus.
Ahead it'll be introduced a proper method to recalculate EROEI taking this sort of risk into account.
This is one of the key concepts of the "Net Energy and Time" article. Decline rates are used to compute the declining value of an investment against another valuable thing; in the case of money, they can be used to assess the currency's future value against physical goods. Modern paper-currencies are issued so their amount grows faster than the amount of physical goods and services created by the economy; monetary decline rates are calculated as Price Inflation rates and applied in the calculation of the future value of a currency unit. They are also used to apply interest on lending.
The first issue concerning discount rates is the figures used in the article. Arbitrary figures are chosen, starting at 5%. Why not 0.5%? or 50%? Implicitly, this figure is inferred from present interest rates applied to money. First of all it must be noted that in 2008, when inter-bank lending interest rates, such as Euribor, hit 5%, most folk seemed not to be able to afford their homes. Today it is difficult to find a bank providing interest over 4% on long term deposits to common folk.
But is money the correct entity to value energy against? When applying discount rates to energy, it must be asked against what, energy, an objective physical entity, is supposed to devalue. While the declining energy returns reflect the uncertainty of those returns coming to be, what is supposed to produce declining inputs to an energy system? Against what is the value of a future energy input declining?
The value of energy is its relative availability to Society. Energy is the more valuable to Society the scarcer it is and the less valuable the more abundant it is. This leads to asking why in the "Net Energy and Time" article are used the same discount rates for energy inputs and outputs. It is a paradox, while the amount of energy available declines per the risks considered, inputs become more affordable at the same time. This can't possibly happen and is one of the main problems with the article. If the surplus of energy is declining with time, then future inputs become more expensive, not cheaper, when compared with the relative value of other things in the Economy. If the same decline rate is to be applied to inputs and outputs of a certain project, it must be so with opposite signals: if outputs are declining in value 5 %/a, inputs must increase 5%/annum (or decrease -5 %/a).
This paradox can also be shown in another way. The "Net Energy and Time" article implies that for energy systems with high energy input later in their lifetime, EROEI increases when risk is considered. This hypothesis can be tested mathematically.
which is false when s >= 0, n >= 0, m >= 0 and n > m.
Thus the conclusion that energy systems that postpone inputs later into their operational lifetime have higher EROEI is essentially wrong. Real life works exactly in the opposite way: comparing Wind and Natural Gas systems in Europe is perhaps the best example; while for Wind, costs are fixed and known beforehand for the entire project lifetime, for Gas not only future costs are unknown, it is even questionable if enough fuel will be available later on. This issue can be put in a different perspective, by noting that Nate and Hannes do not address a very important risk: that of fuel unavailability. Either way, the options taken in the "Net Energy and Time" article in regard to future energy inputs can't possibly be justified on physical or mathematical grounds.
The "Net Energy and Time" article is illustrated by bubble and arrows graphs like this one. All rightward arrows are wrong, arrows for renewable energies are grossly exaggerated.
Basically, what these equations mean is that the longer an energy system is supposed to last, the more likely it is for it to be impacted by a destructive hazard. This is one of the general ideas put forward by Nate and Hannes that is entirely correct, but that unfortunately was not properly quantified. Taking as an example earthquakes hitting mainland Europe, strong enough to cause structural damage to buildings, the probability is in the order of once in every 300 years, or about 0.3% in a single year; the contrast with the 5% decline rates postulated in the article is considerable.
Several caveats must be referenced on this method. First of all, individual probabilities for each hazard or destruction risk may not be known; some risks may not even be known themselves. Second, the result of some of these hazards may not be total destruction, it may be partial destruction or temporary disability. In such cases the calculations can be refined to some extent, but the real impact of these events is largely unknown beforehand. These calculations can easily overestimate or underestimate destruction risk and their use in recalculating EROEI must be subject to a proper dose of good sense. But especially for heavy hazards, like earthquakes, they ought to be indispensable for any serious energy project.
The Society perspective for Net Energy or EROEI calculation is the only that has proper biophysical meaning, in the sense that it is the only one that properly accounts for the total energy flows into and out of an energy system. This perspective puts the risks considered originally by Nate and Hannes into a completely different scope, simply eliminating most of them. It also brings up other risks that were not considered, and that can significantly impact the EROEI of fossil fuels.
The employment of high declines rates to produce the increase in fossil fuel EROEI and the decline in renewables energy EROEI is a paradox, implying that energy becomes both more "expensive" and more "cheap" with time. "Expensive" and "cheap" not in paper currency terms, but in their relative abundance to Society.
While the original arrows and bubbles graphs are essentially wrong from a Society and biophysical perspective, the main postulate that long lifetime curtails the final EROEI of an energy system is entirely valid. Using probability theory it is possible to compute a somewhat objective figure enclosing the reduction of EROEI imposed by potential risks of destruction as a function of time. The objectiveness of this computation is itself a function of how well destruction risks are known.
Is a BTU today worth more or less than a BTU ten years from now?
The answer to this question is not philosophical and depends solely on the relative abundance of energy at both epochs.

Q&A with manager Paul Molitor: 'No locks' on Twins pitching staff

By John Shipley | jshipley@pioneerpress.com | Pioneer Press
PUBLISHED: September 12, 2016 at 7:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 12, 2016 at 6:30 p.m.
With his team in a tailspin and the franchise looking for its next front-office leader, Twins manager Paul Molitor has a guarantee from the only voice that matters, principal owner Jim Pohlad.
In a letter sent to season-ticket holders last week, Pohlad reaffirmed his commitment to the St. Paul hall of famer, who kept the team in the playoff race through this time last year but has something of a dumpster fire on his hands this year.
After a 7-1 loss to American League Central-leading Cleveland on Sunday, the Twins are 53-90 and 30 1/2 games out of first place with just under three weeks to play. Already this season, longtime general manager Terry Ryan has been relieved of his duties, and Pohlad and team president Dave St. Peter are shopping not just for a new leader of baseball operations but perhaps a new way of doing things.
Molitor might know he has a job next season, but that's about all he knows. The Twins have some young talent to build around, players such as Miguel Sano, Max Kepler and Byron Buxton, but their pitching is the worst in baseball. And after amassing at least 90 losses in five of the past six seasons — and making the playoffs only once since Target Field opened for the 2010 season — well, as Molitor put it, "I don't know who you'd say is going to be a lock" to make the team next spring.
With that in mind, and the Twins staring down their first 100-loss season since the 1982 team lost 102, the Pioneer Press sat down with Molitor on Saturday for some shop talk. Molitor, 60, spoke on a wide range of subjects, from the organization's success teaching prospects to why he is still focused on winning games this season.
Pioneer Press: With the backing of Jim Pohlad, do you know in your heart, yeah, I'll be here next year?
Paul Molitor: In talking to Jim (Pohlad) post-Terry, and Dave (St. Peter) somewhat, the affirmation has been a good thing, and I'm sure it's something that a lot of people can have various opinions about, (whether) that's the proper way to go. I don't think about that. I think about that they asked me to come back and keep my job, and I plan on doing that. There will be a period of transition here that I'm trying to prepare for, in terms of, first and foremost, finishing the year, and then knowing that there's going to be some time that has to be spent with whoever comes in, and hopefully we'll begin to build a relationship.
PP: When you were hired, there was a sense among some that you weren't entirely sure you want to manage … but you seem to enjoy this job.
PM: I do.

It's the most challenging job other than playing. There are a lot of things that this job encompasses that are very enjoyable — the day-to-day competition; trying to discern some wisdom about when to address players, collective or individually; messages that you try to send. We all know this is about trying to get the most out of a group of men, but there are a lot of things that come with it that makes it a little more challenging.
I have enjoyed it. I think the impression that you might have had, about maybe a lukewarmness of my desire was more, a lot of times, circumstantial. And this time, I was a little bit unprepared that it was actually, potentially going to happen. I kind of almost had resigned myself that my day had passed in terms of getting this opportunity. But it took some time to sort out, with both my wife and myself, about what the job would entail, the commitment, and we kind of concurred that this was kind of meant to be.
PP: You're a happy person? You're happy with your job?
PM: Yeah. I am happy, sure. I'm fairly at peace in terms of however long … I came in and said my goal is to win, that I plan to win, and I still feel that. We've obviously taken a step or two or 10 back here. It's not overly shocking to me that that could happen. But I enjoy this. There's a sacrifice in your personal life and all those types of things, but I knew that coming in.
PP: This is largely the same team as last year. What was the biggest difference? Have you thought much about that?
PM: Maybe in the totality of everything. I think at different chapters of the year, you kind of reflect. Obviously, when we started 0-9, that in itself caused me to look at what we had done, and why was I a little bit blind-sided by that? But if you break it down game to game, it was small things that when they started rolling the wrong way, we couldn't stop it. … Last year, (young) guys came up and we had a little bit of trending toward an enjoyable season; they fit in a lot better than they do when they have to face adversity right out of the start where things are more magnified. …

I've tried to remember what my job is day to day, not get too engulfed in the fact that we're approaching a hundred losses, potentially. It's not going to feel good if and when that happens; it already doesn't feel good. Like I said, earlier, it's going to be a very high number. I haven't thought a lot about, at least not in detail, about fixes, potentially, even in the short term, where we can build more than just through next year. But hopefully I'm going to have a little input in things we need to address, in terms of what I need to do as a manager and how I prepare in spring; the personnel aspect, I don't expect to have a lot of say about trades and free agents. I might get asked my opinion and things like that, but, again, that's part of the uncertainty."
PP: It has to be difficult because you just don't know what's going to happen. You have a lot of players here, and with a lot of them, it's unclear whether they'll be here …
PM: And my feelings go beyond the players because it's something that resonates from the high-end front office through scouting and development. There's a lot of people uncertain about how fast things might get shaken up.
One thing that we've learned through this early process of trying to find the right person is that you're getting outside opinions about our organization, and a lot of times, what we think and what we feel are (strictly) internal. People are coming in and probably telling us what they see from the outside, which potentially could be beneficial. My original point is that I think Dave is getting a lot of (candidates) who don't think this is a tear-down job as much as it is some type of re-tooling. And we probably have to comb through areas of what we do, including the major leagues, and maybe somehow change our plan to maximize what's available, whether it's in scouting or development or international, as well as maybe some things people might feel I can do differently in how I go about trying to draw this stuff out from my players.
The whole sabremetrics aspect is something that I've at least tried to take into account. It has its value. Some people, some organizations, value it differently, or at least whatever thing you believe has impact and how you should take advantage of it.
PP: That seems like an outsider thing to me, Sabremetrics …
PM: Yeah, a little bit. I would say the majority of people that are highly vested in that as a high-value tool are people that haven't played as much. I think the people that have played are open-minded about it, but they still trust their own instincts.
PP: Have you felt like some of the kids that have come up through the system were not as ready as they should have been?

PM: That's a fair question. I know that question from both sides, because I was in player development for a long time, and I'd hear about what people up here had to say about players that we were sending them. I know it's not always a matter of them not being trained properly or unprepared; it's something about being here that you can't totally understand until you are here. Are there things that we can do better? Sure, pitchers, position players, situations. But I do know that our ability to see a bigger picture in a game — how we take at-bats, or how we pitch around players in certain situations — there are things that you hope some of these guys have learned to see would be a little bit better than is the case when they get here.
But I try to remember what it felt like to play up here at 21 years old. I have to tell you, I didn't know much about the game. Now, I didn't have a lot of major league experience, but the major league game I had to learn on the fly. The coaching had changed, a lot of different things. All I can tell you is I am not critical of what we do down there (in the minors). I think we can do better about making sure we're a little bit in sync in terms of myself and the major league staff and what we'd like to see in how we develop, maybe, in specific baseball areas.
PP: You talked about bunting today, and I always wonder, "Why don't they bench him? Why don't they fine him?" Are those days done?
PM: There have been rare repercussions for what people have done and not on the field in my short time here. For a guy who maybe should bunt more, I think it's better to force them to, through a sign or communication. For instance, you take aside your bunters before a game and you tell them, "This guy falls off to the third base side and he doesn't cover first, if you're gonna bunt, this is where you want to go …" And then during the game, all the sudden they're leading off an inning and I say, "Now's the time, give it a shot." They'll try. Guys are a little bit more hesitant to give up at-bats these days to try to bunt. I can't explain that. It's a little bit of a lost art, as they say.
PP: It does seem to me … the big picture is lost sometimes; that it's a little more individualized. I also know it's easy for people to watch a game and say, "Oh, he should have thrown to second" …
PM: Well, you have some people that play recklessly, and they don't make good decisions because of the emotion of the game, and you have people on the converse side that are so afraid to make a mistake that they freeze, a deer in the headlights, to make sure they don't make a mistake. You try to bring those guys that are a little bit fearful along, and you try to tone down the guys that seem to be (laughs) have no feel of what that time of the game calls for. I mean, I can teach all the time I want in the minors about, you know, all the information that surrounds a circumstance in a game and try to get them prepared so that when the ball's put in play, they make a good decision. But it's a lot easier said than done for most of these guys. … You can't create puppets, either.
PP: The other obvious answer is that it's all about pitching …
PM: We haven't even started with that. You can debate whether our season trended the way it did because of pitching, because, like I said, out of the gate we held our own, and losing was about more than just pitching early — the slow starts, and some of the things we did late in games. But over the course of 140 games or so, if you look at where we are for pitching, and what we have struggled with, we're going to give up maybe 200 home runs, and I think we've already given up close to 800 runs, I believe …
PP: Last I checked, opponents were hitting .288 against you …
PM: It's an obvious case that that is our biggest area that needs fixing in terms of what we do on the baseball field. Offensively, it's been hot and cold, and there have been some guys that have had — you can break down our offensive players — but when you look at how we've competed overall, offensively we're in the mix. We've scored enough runs. We've had one player in particular that's been off the charts for about three months.
The position thing, yes there's a good chance we're going to have a lot of young guys again. How much this year will help the Sanos and Polancos and Rosarios, Keplers, Buxtons, it's a young core. A really young core. But I would say, if you want to ask me baseball, yes, pitching — pitching.
PP: Can you fix that in one offseason?

PM: Well, there's going to be a lot of discussion about whether we decide to go forward into spring with the same cast, which, it's not easy. You can't just wave a wand and say, 'OK, I want three guys who are upgrades.' It's at what price, and are you willing to be bold to do that? … What's going to transpire, from everything in the rotation to trying to reassemble the bullpen is the immediate question. You can talk about a couple positions we have to solidify — catcher is sort of up in the air, and shortstop — but we have talented offensive players. I don't worry about that as much as I do pitching.
PP: What about in the system, guys like Kohl Stewart and (Stephen) Gonsalves?
PM: My feel is that these people are not knocking on the door, and they're not necessarily guys you would project to be high-end rotation guys, even when you imagine good health and good progress and good development. I don't want to talk too individually about minor league players, but you hear things that are, not really concerning, they're just, "OK, this guy's got a lot of work to do before he's gonna be close to being on the radar."
PP: Did you hear that about (Jose) Berrios?
PM: Terry (Ryan) … he's a very good evaluator, we all know that. When he said Gibson wasn't ready, when everyone was clamoring for Gibson, and Gibson came up and Gibson wasn't ready. In Jose's case it was similar. A young kid, he's got goals and visions and dreams, and he works and he works and he works. But he can't command that fastball. I can't tell you how many times he's told me that, and that's not going to fly up here. It's not gonna fly. And you hope that something clicks, and he goes down there and puts the pieces together, impressive starts, gets away with more and then we expect that to carry over for a 21-year-old kid. It's just … As far as maturity, he's holding his own; he's doing all right. But to be able to do what he needs to do, for a guy to be in our mix, he's still got work to do. There's no locks here. I'm anxious to see how he pitches here over the next three weeks.
PP: When it's hard to look ahead, does it make sense not to look ahead?
PM: There's not a lot that I'd be seeing clearly even if I were to focus on looking ahead. So, here in the interim … Look, I know people say, 'Just catch Murphy every day. Play Sano at third every day …' It sounds good in theory. In practicality of trying to compete, and give my pitchers chances, the people that are here. … It's not that you feel compelled to play everybody, but there's a lot that goes into those decisions. Like I said, if Sano plays 15 of the last 20 games at third base, how is that going to affect him going into next spring? I can't tell you.
But I get that people want to see those guys, and that games don't mean a lot, at least to the fans in terms of winning and losing. They want to just go ahead and ride it out and let 'em suffer through whatever you have to suffer through. It's not that easy for me to just do that. I try to have an idea of what the feeling is out there. I know guys want me to try to win games. At what cost do you want to either stay in the moment or look to next spring? The problem with next spring is there's not many givens. I don't know who you'd say is going to be a lock right now.
PP: But you do feel you have some good players?
PM: I think we do, offensively. We have some things we have to sort out positionally, but there's going to be enough there, I believe.

Players of the popular survival game Fortnite are complaining to Sony that they cannot use the same accounts on different consoles.
Gamers are frustrated because they can't transfer their accounts between the PS4 version of the game to the Nintendo Switch, a ban which some have accused Sony of making to undercut the success of its rival.
Many have argued that the Switch, as a mobile console, appeals to a different market segment than the PS4 and note how Microsoft has made no such ban for Xbox-based accounts.
The gamers are complaining because the numerous in-game purchases made with their PS4 accounts - including outfits or "skins" which change the player's appearance - cannot be accessed across platforms.Some users have said this runs contrary to PlayStation's "For the players" motto, while others have said they will be switching from PS4 to the Xbox console as a result.
A spokesperson for Playstation 4 was not immediately able to comment on the complaints.
The criticism has spurred plenty of discussion in the gaming community, and earned Sony a few cheeky comments from the competitors it is accused of attempting to play down.
Microsoft's official Xbox UK account on Twitter invited Nintendo to play a game of Fortnite with it, noting that the game's accounts are transferable between the Xbox and the Switch.
Fortnite is a sandbox-style survival game in which players are air-dropped into a location and forced to battle it out.
Since being released last year, the game has grown to 125 million players according to its developer Epic Games.Epic has also pledged to provide $100,000,000 (€74.5m) to fund prize pools for Fortnite competitions in the 2018-2019 gaming season.

Happy New Year! I hope you had a joyous holiday season and are reinvigorated to have a fantastic 2014! In order to jump start a year of healthy eating, here's a new entry from our Pantry Makeover series: 25 go-to vegetables for the New Year.
One of the questions people ask me is how to buy fruits and vegetables for a healthier menu, and not have them spoil before you use them. There are some vegetables that have a longer shelf life than others — carrots and winter squash, for example, can be kept for one to two weeks under proper refrigeration. It is also possible to buy many of these vegetables as frozen foods. Research has shown that the nutritional value can be higher in the frozen version of certain vegetables because the fresh may have been in storage or travelling great distances over a long period of time to reach your local market.
Fantastic list!! The only thing I would add is sweet potatoes – though I guess that might fall under starch, but still so good for you!
Thanks! I would definitely add sweet potatoes to the list. While they are a starchy vegetable, they do have a lot of other great nutrients like Vitamin A and C. If you eat the skin, it is a great source of fiber too.
Great list, thanks for sharing! I would also add frozen wild blueberries – just found out they are one of the highest antioxidant fruits!
Thanks for stopping by! Frozen blueberries are definitely a great addition to this list. In fact, they make a great addition to a morning smoothie when you need a quick breakfast on the run.


The new domestic worker minimum wage increase will take effect from January 1 until November 30 2018 and it applies to all domestic employees working in the Cape Town municipalities.
R2 545.22 a month in major metropolitan areas.
In other areas the hourly rate is R11.89, R534.91 a week and the monthly rate is R2 317.75.
The minimum wages for domestic workers in the Cape Town municipalities who work 27 ordinary hours a week or less, should not be less than R15.28 an hour, R412.60 a week and R1 787.80 a month, in terms of Area A.
"Since the promulgation of this Act 15 years ago, the annual minimum wage increase continues to be marginal, which means that these workers will continue to eke out a living in these dire economic times.
"These vulnerable employees do not have much to rejoice about and in 2018 will continue to struggle to fight for their rights," said Bernard Reisner of Cape Labour and Industrial Consultants in Gardens, Cape Town.
You can email bernard@capelabour.co.za or call 021 423 3959 for a free copy of the minimum wage schedule.
It includes sample documents and is a must for every household.
The labour department often conducts surprise visits to check if employers are paying their domestic staff according to the legislation.

Actor-politician Urmila Matondkar, several other prominent people join Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra in Jammu
Jammu, Jan 24 (PTI) Actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar was among several prominent persons joined Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra which entered Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district after starting from the garrison town of Nagrota on Tuesday morning.
The yatra was carried out in two legs to complete its target for the 130th day and reached Ramban along the Jammu-Srinagar national highway amid pouring rain.
The weather department has predicted heavy snowfall over middle and higher reaches and rains in plains during the next 24 hours.
Matondkar, a popular Bollywood star of the 1990s, joined Gandhi shortly after the march started from near the army garrison around 8 am amid tight security, with Congress workers and supporters lined up on the road along the route to welcome them.
Matondkar (48) had resigned from the Congress in September 2019 after a short association of six months, and joined the Shiv Sena in 2020.
Dressed in a cream-coloured traditional Kashmir Pheran (loose gown) and beanie cap, Matondkar was interacting with Gandhi as they marched along.
Noted author Perumal Murugan and J&K Pradesh Congress committee president Vikar Rasool Wani, his predecessor G A Mir and former minister Tariq Hamid Karra also joined them alongside hundreds of others carrying the tricolour in their hands.
The march is scheduled to make a two-night halt at Ramban and Banihal along the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway before its culmination in Srinagar with a grand rally at the Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium on January 30.
"We have been wandering in Jammu for the last three decades after our migration from Kashmir. We have come here to welcome Rahul Gandhi as he could help in our rehabilitation back into the Valley as it was Congress which worked for the community in the past by providing employment packages to our youth," Geeta Koul told PTI.
She said the biggest issue for them is the rehabilitation of the community and the BJP has miserably "failed" in this mission and "ignored us".
However, they could not perform the traditional welcome at that place and were later asked to meet the Rahul Gandhi at his camping site in Jaggar Kotli.
After walking for over one-and-a-half hours, the yatra made a stopover and resumed from Army gate Rehambal in Udhampur district amid a drizzle.
The Congress leader later wore a raincoat as the weather deteriorated further with the day's march was nearing completion.
Swaraj India party president Yogendra Yadav, Congress MLA from Gujaray Jignesh Mevani and two separate Congress delegations from Uttarakhand and Punjab also joined Rahul Gandhi.
Congress sources said Uttarakhand delegation briefed Gandhi about the Joshimath issue and rehabilitation of the affected families. PTI TAS PS AB TDS TDS

Swingin' at the Savoy
The Memoir of a Jazz Dancer
Norma Miller and Evette Jensen
Norma Miller is a recipient of the 2003 National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowships
1 figs., 52 halftones
A celebration of a life of dancing the Lindy Hop
Dancer, award-winning choreographer, show producer, stand-up comedienne, TV/film actress and author, Norma Miller shares her touching historical memoir of Harlem's legendary Savoy Ballroom and the phenomenal music and dance craze that "spread the power of Swing across the world like Wildfire."
It was a time when the music was Swing, and Harlem was king. Renowned as 'the world's most beautiful ballroom" and the largest, most elegant in Harlem, the Savoy was the only ballroom not segregated when it opened in 1926. The Savoy hosted the best bands and attracted the best dancers by offering the challenge of fierce competition. White people traveled uptown to learn exciting new dance styles. A dance contest winner by fourteen, Norma Miller became a member of Herbert White's world-famous Lindy Hoppers and a celebrated Savoy Ballroom Lindy Hop champion.
Swingin' at the Savoy chronicles a significant period in American cultural history and race relations, as it glorifies the popularized home of the Lindy Hop, and the birthplace of such memorable dance fads as the Big Apple, Shag, Truckin', Peckin', Susie Q, Charleston, Peabody, Black Bottom, Cake Walk, Boogie Woogie, Shimmy, and tap dancing.
Miller shares fascinating anecdotes about her youthful encounters with many of the greatest jazz legends in music history including Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Ethel Waters, and even boxer Joe Louis.
"This is an important book, bringing some much-overdue attention to the swing dancers who along with the musicians defined the era."
—Robert Tate, Jazz Now
"A refreshing look at the history of swing dancing is Swingin' at the Savoy.... Miller has not only created an entertaining history of swing, but more importantly, gives the reader a sense of the personalities of people and places most have only heard of. The book is unique as a humorous autobiography, full of youthful antics and charm. Delightful anecdotes and photos of big bands give us a view of swing music and its popularity in a real world aspect different than most music historians today."

North America's Outspoken Source of Thought Provoking Opinion.

Shocking Late Nite Rumor Thingy
By John "Cork" Corcoran Jr.
(SNN) I've decided to start a show business rumor.
Just me. All by myself, no sources, no late night phone calls from the participants. No leaked information from insiders.
If it happens to come true, remember, you read it here first.
Seth Meyers will be the next host of The Daily Show.
All around North America I can hear people saying: "Prove it, fathead." Or "WTF?" Or "Wait, didn't Late Night host Meyers and The Daily Show host, Trevor Noah, just start their new gigs?"
Ayup.
So why take the word of a knucklehead like me? Easy… I'm not as dumb as I look.
Here's the deal.
The Daily Show has problems. Noah missed one recently with an alleged emergency appendectomy. Am I hinting he was secretly shot by Meyers? Maybe, maybe not. Keep in mind Cork's rule of Tabloid-think is always start a rumor with a shocking accusation or possibility.
The trouble is The Daily Show is not the same show as Stewart's version; it's not very good. Stewart was sardonic, ironic, sarcastic, and a brilliant writer/performer/thinker. (And will be again when his new deal with HBO gets rolling)
In replacing a legend, Comedy Central went the other way with the non-legendary, albeit likeable South African comedian. Noah is affable, handsome, easy to smile; and with a people-pleasing grill, a sharp contrast to Stewart's glum piehole. But TDS is a show about content, not looks. And quality content is missing. Noah may be good, but Stewart—with an able assist from his nine-time Emmy-winning staff of writers—was a Genius.
By not looking to bring in another angst-y anchor, Comedy Central must have figured ratings would benefit with a cheery, smiling visage and material never as dark or brilliant as had been the case before. They were wrong. Ratings have headed south, and are currently down 37%. If they don't improve during November sweeps, Noah should start updating his resume. And no, I don't dislike the guy. He's talented and could host the Hell out of a talk show. I just think he's the wrong host for The Daily Show.
A Quick Hook?
I realize even Stewart wasn't great at the start. I don't see a quick removal of Noah—he should get a year, maybe longer if he uptrends in ratings. To fire him this soon would be an admission of failure. Admissions of failure get Television Suits fired themselves. Comedy Central will attempt to salvage him. Expect changes on the show. Let's start by getting Noah to smile less
Meanwhile, Meyers, although successfully hosting The Late Show, has not stopped fiddling with his format. Ill at ease with the traditional standup monologue, he now begins the show parked at his desk. The opening comedy is now more in line with his work as host of SNL's "Weekend Update." Unlike other hosts, he gets to use over-the-shoulder visuals—and to good effect.
After his "Sitalogue" Meyers announces his upcoming guests and does a second comedy desk piece before the first commercial break. Recently Meyers did a six-minute, well-produced commentary about an equal rights law in Houston defeated by some sneaky campaigning.
The bit even showed a clip of Steve Doocy, Fox & Friends' walking punch line, looking ridiculous. That's something Stewart used to do with regularity. Before his first show even aired, Noah said he would pretty much stay away from the Big Bad Fox.
John Oliver's Bad Timing
An irony to this is if John Oliver had still been at The Daily Show when Stewart announced he was leaving, he would have been the odds-on favorite to replace him. Oliver is now successfully hosting Last Week Tonight on HBO.
Will Meyers even want to leave his gig if The Daily Show is available? Only if he gets the blessings of Lorne Michaels, his boss at NBC going back to SNL days and an uncrowned kingmaker at NBC.
And why would Meyers want to leave the Late Show? Perhaps because—love him or hate him—Jimmy Fallon isn't going anywhere. His Tonight Show ratings are up and it would take a major Tectonic Shift to get him out of there. And, except when it comes to doing impressions and playing music, I have to think Meyers believes he is the superior talent. It must be tough playing second fiddle to Fallon.
So there you have it. As with most show biz rumors, it's probably wrong.
But if I'm right? I'll be back to brag.

NetScaler provides unmatched performance, scalability, consolidation and flexibility. New NetScaler MPX solutions deliver the industry's first 50 Gbps appliance in an energy and space efficient 2U form factor and introduce unparalleled elasticity into the physical network with "Pay-as-You-Grow" – allowing customers to scale from 20 Gbps, 35Gbps and 50Gbps on the same physical appliance without the need for expensive forklift upgrades.
In addition, to support the rapid global adoption of IPv6 while simultaneously becoming the consolidation backbone for very large Service Providers, IPv6 performance and NetScaler's capacity to support cloud-scale configurations has increased dramatically with NetScaler 9.2. IPv6 performance increases by 50% while IPv6-IPv6 HTTP requests per second increase by 4X, enabling organizations to standardize on IPv6 for better scale, quality and performance. NetScaler's capacity to support thousands of tenants and their associated configuration services, entities and applications has increased by 2X-7X driving network consolidation and economies of scale and simplifying management.
Shared services is a key attribute of a virtualized datacenter. New Network Aware Policies and Policy-Based Routing features enable an application aware multi-tenant network by segmenting traffic by vLAN or other L2-L4 parameters. Additionally, new NetScaler AppExpert Template and Visualizer features simplify management, migration, monitoring and synchronization of application delivery policies. Specifically, templates from existing configurations can be created for easy import/export into test and dev environments by abstracting management complexity and allowing creation of environment specific configurations.
AppExpert Network Visualizer provides a completely new way to look at how NetScaler is connected to your network. This is a graphical and fully interactive view of your network. You can configure network components like interfaces and vLANs by clicking on them directly from the configuration map. It's also possible to add channels, view properties of configured network-related entities, and pull down statistics and counters for a particular interface or vLAN.
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB), by it's nature, has several layers of configuration in the feature. Once you start adding a few sites and remote services, the configuration can start to become a little involved. The GSLB Visualiser is the perfect way to graphically represent your GSLB configuration. It will organize it intelligently by the domain names you are running on GSLB, and show you exactly which systems are up / down, and allow you to get statistics on each entity.
New Active-Active capabilities provide greater high-availability and network utilization to ensure enterprise SLAs are met. In addition, new web services and XML security capabilities protect applications from attacks and help enterprises comply with security regulations. These include: cross-site request forgery protection, XML attachment checks, entity expansion attack protection, SOAP fault filtering, WSDL scanning protection and XPath injection protection.
To support the transition of various application workloads to off-premise cloud deployments while providing a seamless user experience, NetScaler 9.2 has various enhancements to its Global Load Balancing suite of features including spillover of user traffic which is a critical element to drive Cloud Burst scenarios.
NetScaler 9.2 introduces 64-bit shared-memory caching. High-end NetScaler MPX platforms can provide up to 24GB of memory cache capacity, to cache large video files at the service provider edge, or to offload back end servers. Delivery of Web 2.0 applications are optimized with new Fast XML XPath support, which provides deep XML payload inspection and enables high-performance business logic routing.
Is your load balancer cloud-ready?

New England Transcendentalism
The New England transcendentalists were an influential but decidedly heterogeneous group of young writers, critics, philosophers, theologians, and social reformers whose activities centered in and around Concord, Massachusetts, from about 1836 to 1860. Insofar as they can be considered to have subscribed to a common body of doctrine, their leader and spokesman was Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882). Apart from Platonism and Unitarian Christianity, the chief formative intellectual influence on the group was German idealism. It was not, however, the dense and difficult epistemological works of Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Schelling, and G. W. F. Hegel that primarily attracted the transcendentalists; although nearly all had made some attempt to read the German philosophers, very few had persevered to the point of mastering them. Rather, it was the more personalized and poetic expressions of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Novalis, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Thomas Carlyle, together with the belletristic expositions of Mme. de Staël's De l'Allemagne (New York, 1814) and Victor Cousin's Introduction à l'histoire de la philosophie (English translation, Boston, 1832) that provided Emerson and his disciples with whatever philosophical nourishment they possessed. Thus, far from being in any strict sense a primarily philosophical movement, New England transcendentalism was first and foremost a literary phenomenon. It was a passionate outcry on the part of a number of brilliant and highly articulate young Americans who had become so intoxicated with the spirit of European romanticism that they could no longer tolerate the narrow rationalism, pietism, and conservatism of their fathers.
After Emerson and Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862), the more important early transcendentalists were William Ellery Channing (1780–1842)—"Dr. Channing," as Emerson called him—distinguished clergyman and social reformer, leader of the Unitarian revolt against Calvinism; Amos Bronson Alcott (1799–1888), mystic, educationalist, and reformer; George Ripley (1802–1880), Germanist, disciple of François Marie Charles Fourier, and one of the founders of the Brook Farm community and of the Dial (the chief transcendentalist periodical); Orestes Augustus Brownson (1803–1876), journalist and clergyman whose lifelong attempt to reconcile religious conviction with radical views about social reform led him to embrace, in turn, nearly every available variety of Christianity from Presbyterianism to Catholicism; Frederic Henry Hedge (1805–1890), scholar, authority on German philosophy, founder in 1836 of the informal Transcendental Club for "exchange of thought among those interested in the new views in philosophy, theology and literature"; Margaret Fuller (1810–1850), literary critic, political radical, feminist, author of Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1845), and first editor of the Dial (1840–1844); Theodore Parker (1810–1860), dissenting Unitarian preacher and abolitionist whose ordination discourse, "The Transient and Permanent in Christianity" (delivered in Boston in 1841), denied the necessity of believing in biblical inspiration and in miracles and led Emerson to nickname him the Savonarola of transcendentalism; Jones Very (1813–1880), poet and eccentric; James Freeman Clarke (1810–1888), Unitarian minister and religious pamphleteer; and Christopher Pearse Cranch (1813–1892), minister, painter, critic, and poet. Among the later transcendentalists were John Weis (1818–1879), Samuel Longfellow (1819–1892), J. E. Cabot (1821–1903), O. B. Frothingham (1822–1895), and Moncure D. Conway (1832–1907). It is debatable whether Nathaniel Hawthorne should be counted as a transcendentalist, but it is certain that, with other major imaginative writers like James Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf Whittier, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Walt Whitman, Hawthorne owed much to his contact with transcendentalist modes of thought and feeling.
The Nature of Transcendentalism
"What is popularly called Transcendentalism among us," Emerson explained to a Boston audience in 1842, "is Idealism; Idealism as it appears in 1842" ("The Transcendentalist"). Yet we must add that it was a form of idealism that included and frequently confused the technical or epistemological idealism of the post-Kantian philosophers and the more vaguely understood "idealism"—in the sense of romantic aspirationism—of Wordsworth's "Intimations" ode and Novalis's Fragmente. The term transcendental was derived, Emerson claimed, from the use made of it by Kant, who had demonstrated that there was "a very important class of ideas, or imperative forms, which did not come by experience, but through which experience was acquired; that these were intuitions [sic ] of the mind itself"; and that Kant had called them "Transcendental forms." This somewhat subjective exposition (contrast, for example, Critique of Pure Reason, B 25, A 11–12) led Emerson to conclude that consequently "whatever belongs to the class of intuitive thought, is popularly called at the present day Transcendental. " Here, of course, the word intuitive is being employed in its most general sense, quite dissociated from any philosophical use, so that Emerson could immediately go on lamely to characterize the "Transcendentalist" as one who displays a predominant "tendency to respect [his] intuitions."
The failure on the part of the movement's leader to give any really informative definition of transcendentalism is nevertheless instructive. Because of their intellectual eclecticism and avowed individualism, their subjective fads and eccentricities, and, above all, their wide range of activities, which embraced almost every aspect of American cultural life in the mid-nineteenth century, any attempt to express the outlook of the New England transcendentalists in a single formula is bound to fail. O. B. Frothingham was certainly right when he admitted that transcendentalism was not a systematic theory of life but something more like a state of mind, "an enthusiasm, a wave of sentiment, a breath of mind that caught up such as were prepared to receive it, elated them, transported them, and passed on—no man knowing whither it went."
In a clear sense, however, the transcendentalists were the inheritors of certain forms of sensibility already well developed within the European romantic movement: a vague yet exalting conception of the godlike nature of the human spirit and an insistence on the authority of individual conscience; a related respect for the significance and autonomy of every facet of human experience within the organic totality of life; a consequent eschewal of all forms of metaphysical dualism, reductivism, and positivism; nature conceived not as a vast machine demanding impersonal manipulation but as an organism, a symbol and analogue of mind, and a moral educator for the poet who can read her hieroglyphics; a sophisticated understanding of the uses of history in self-culture; in general, the placing of imagination over reason, creativity above theory, action higher than contemplation, and a marked tendency to see the spontaneous activity of the creative artist as the ultimate achievement of civilization—these were the more pervasive principles shared by all thinkers of the New England school. Yet if "idealism," or, better still, "romanticism," serves roughly to denote the genus of transcendentalism, it is important to determine the specific characteristics of the American version.
American Characteristics
American transcendentalism differed from its European counterparts in at least two important ways. First, unlike most forms of European idealism in the nineteenth century, transcendentalism was not simply closely allied with contemporary theological speculation and debate but arose directly out of it. The majority of its original adherents, including Channing, Emerson, Parker, Ripley, and Cranch, were, or had been, Unitarian clergymen, and from the point of view of cultural history the advent of transcendentalism must be seen as the final liberation of the American religious consciousness from the narrow Calvinism that Unitarianism had already done much to ameliorate. This is not, however, to imply that transcendentalism was primarily a movement within the Christian church. For its outcome, as the works of Emerson and Thoreau, for example, amply testify, was essentially secular and humanist in the widest sense.
Second, the later inception of romantic idealism in the United States led its exponents to less fluctuating and at the same time less radical programs of social reform. If the typical German or English romantic began with an enthusiasm for the ideals of the French Revolution, became disillusioned by the Terror, and ended his career a conservative, Emerson's disciples felt the outcome of the Revolution as something more distant and, in any case, European. Their social philosophy was the natural outcome of their reactions to the very different American scene. The majority of transcendentalists never wavered in their active opposition to slavery, imperialism, bureaucratization, and cultural philistinism; yet, partly because the United States had already achieved a democracy and partly because Western expansion kept economic conditions relatively good, the transcendentalists were not incited to the more extreme forms of political protest characteristic of such European inheritors of idealism as Karl Marx and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.

Perry Miller's two collections, The Transcendentalists: An Anthology (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1950) and The American Transcendentalists: Their Prose and Poetry (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1957), provide excellent selections of transcendentalist writings; they also contain bibliographies. O. B. Frothingham, Transcendentalism in New England: A History (New York: Putnam, 1876), is still the best intellectual history of the movement.

Q: How to mount remote samba share from local host with multiple groups? I am using mount.cifs to mount a remote samba share (both client and server are Ubuntu server 8.04) like this:
mount.cifs //sambaserver/samba /mountpath -o credentials=/path/.credentials,uid=someuser,gid=1000

$ cat .credentials
username=user
password=password

I mounted a user from local system with username and password with mount.cifs but the problem is that the user is part of multiple groups on the remote system and with mount.cifs I can only specify one gid. Is there a way to specify all the gids that the remote user has?
Is there a way to:

*

*Mount the remote samba with multiple groups on the local system?

*Browse the mount from 1) with the terminal since I want to pass some files from samba
as arguments to local programs.

Other solutions would be:

*

*nautilus sftp:// which runs through gvfs; but the newer gnome does not write to disk the ~/.gvfs anymore so I can't browse it in terminal.

*And the last solution would be NFS but that means that I have to synchronize the uids and gids on the local system with the ones from the server.

A: It should do it by default. Have you checked the ACL with getfacl?

A: Check for multiuser mount with samba.

Firefighters battle blaze in Sylmar near 210 Freeway
North Carolina police officer burned by free coffee sues Starbucks
WTVD
RALEIGH, N.C. -- A Raleigh, North Carolina police officer who was given a free cup of coffee by Starbucks is now suing the company after he spilled it and got burned.
In the lawsuit, Matthew Kohr, a lieutenant with the Raleigh Police Department, said the lid popped off the cup of coffee he ordered at the Starbucks on Peace Street in January 2012 and the cup collapsed.
Kohr claims the incident caused such severe stress it activated his Crohn's disease, which resulted in surgery to remove part of his intestine.
Kohr was joined by his wife in court Monday. She is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit - claiming loss of her intimate partner.
Kohr initially sued the maker of the coffee cup too, but the only defendant left in the case is Starbucks.
People buying coffee at the same Starbucks Monday said they were surprised by the lawsuit.
"It's a tough predicament. I think, when something like that happens, especially given that it was a free cup of coffee. I think, you know, they are trying to go out of their way and do something good for somebody who is putting their life in the line of duty every day," offered Max Isaacson.
"It's easy to sue anyone for anything these days. The fact that he dropped hot coffee in his lap, he needs to take responsibility for his actions," said Amber Mohammad.
Jury selection in the case is underway.
Starbucks said it can't comment directly on the case, but did say: "At Starbucks, the safety of our customers and partners (employees) is our top priority and we take our obligation to provide safe products very seriously."

Find out what's going on in Norway on Tuesday with The Local's short roundup of important news.
Left-wing opposition secure landslide over government
On the off chance you may have missed it, Norway went to the polls last night, and Norway's left-wing opposition headed by Labour Party leader Jonas Gahr Støre won Monday's general election after a campaign dominated by questions about the future of the key oil industry in Western Europe's largest producer.
Norway's five opposition parties secured 100 seats, while Erna Solberg's Conservative Party, the other parties in government, and the protest party Patient Focus won 68 seats.
Støre spoke to supporters last night and told them, "we did it," meanwhile, Solberg said she was proud of the government's achievements.
You can read whole events unfolded on the night by checking out our live blog.

Solberg set to speak about election defeat
Prime Minister Erna Solberg will speak about last nights election defeat at 1pm, press agency NTB has reported.
The Conservatives declined 4.6 percentage points since the last parliamentary election in 2017.
It is unclear whether Solberg will announce plans for her future as Conservative Party leader or not. Solberg has recently played it coy over her future and remains popular despite being ousted as PM.
Støre to outline negotiation plans
The Labour party will convene on Tuesday and lay out their plans for negotiations with the Socialist Left Party and Centre Party.
After that, preliminary talks will begin with the leaders of the two aforementioned parties and the leaders of the Red Party and the Greens.
"In the next few days, I will invite all parties who want to talk. We will prioritise the Centre Party and the Socialist Left Party, but we also want to listen to the Green Party and the Red's," he told the press in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
After the initial talks, negotiations will start properly next week.
